You are wrong. The given answer 9240 is correct.
Among the given options, the three numbers 9152, 9240 and 9064 are only divisible by 88.
Now,
Difference b/w 9217 and 9152 = 65
Difference b/w 9217 and 9240 = 23 [* Required answer]
Difference b/w 9217 and 9064 = 153
Therefore, 9240 is nearest to 9217.
Hence 9240 is the required answer.

I need to know what 3 numbers are divisible by 9240?

Co factor of 88 = 11*8, So no must be divisible by both 11 & 8. Now in case of 9152,
Last 3 digit sum is 2+5+2 = 8 which is divisible by 8 and you can check 11 also by (5+9)-(2+1) = 11,
Which is divisible by 11. So correct answer is 9152.
